Branded Merchandise Portal
Our handy Merchandise Portal means your range of promotional products is at your fingertips.
The portal will save you time when you want to place any repeat orders. You can also give access to members of your team, who will know that all the merchandise has been pre-approved and given the thumbs up by the Marketing team.
Adding items to the basket and checking out won’t actually create an order (don’t panic!), but it will generate an enquiry. We’ll then send you a quote and, if you want to go ahead, then just let us know.
Take a look for yourself:
Simply log in with the username: demo
and password, ‘demo’.
By the way, this clever portal can do much more too – we can add your branding and, if you wish, adapt it so we can accept orders from approved team members and send out their merchandise directly.
This really is Merchandise and More.

If you already order a range of promotional merchandise from M&M, then the good news is you can have your own Branded Merchandise Portal free of charge (yes – we did say FREE!).
We will give you access to our bespoke Merchandise Portal, where images of your merchandise are all in one place, along with all the information you will need, such as lead times and MOQs. Your named user will have access to the portal through their password-protected account.
Re-ordering your products has never been easier! No more searching emails to find the name and details of ‘that’ pen or polo shirt; instead, you simply pop your ‘order’ into your basket to generate an enquiry and a quote. We can then process your enquiry quickly and easily.
What if you want something new? Just message us via the portal and we will pick up your enquiry. This item can then be added to your portal for future orders.
Sounds good? We think so – just contact us to get the ball rolling.
Brand Guardian
Our Level 2 Merchandise Portal is perfect for those of you who want an easy way to manage your merchandise and let other departments or team members order, while still keeping control of your brand.
For just £50* a month multiple users can have access to the Merchandise Portal, all with their own password-protected account.
Once you approve access, users can raise an enquiry for merchandise from a range of products that you have already approved. The cost of the order can be allocated to individuals or departments, so you can stay firmly in control of your budget. And don’t worry – we will always require a PO number or approval from the main user before any order goes through.
Since the items on the portal have already been approved, there is no need for any back-and-forth about artwork, speeding up the entire process. And if you want something new, we are still available to chat about options and provide images for inspiration.

Brand Champion
If you are a busy Marketing Team that wants to let other departments order their own merchandise whilst still keeping control over your budget and brand, level 3 is the option for you. This option gives you all the functionality of Level 2, with the added bonus of using your branding to make the Merchandise Portal truly your own.
For just £50* a month, with an additional, one-time £1,000** developer fee, your Merchandise Portal will save you time and money. You get to choose how we process your orders – either as we receive them or on a monthly basis. For example, if you have four offices placing orders for pens, we can collate these orders and print them all in one go, before shipping to the four locations. Combining orders like this makes them less expensive and more sustainable.
If this sounds like the ideal way to manage your merchandise, then contact the team today.

There’s more too …
Our smart solution to managing merchandise is really very flexible and there are other ways we can make it work for you. Just contact the team to find out more, discuss your ideas, and we can provide you with a tailored quote.
Annual maintenance (FOC)
Whilst we will add any new products to your portal as you order them, once a year, we will review your items to ensure they are all still available (and suggest alternatives if anything has been discontinued).
At the same time, we’ll also have a conversation with you to check if there are any items you’d like to remove – or any that you’d like to add.
Branches or franchises with their own branding
If you have an overarching brand but local, regional or business function variations, then we can add a drop-down menu for each individual branch or business unit, so their merchandise is always relevant to them.
Managing workwear
Managing your workwear can be hard work, and our merchandise portal is definitely a welcome helping hand. By restricting items a user can see, you can let your teams or individuals order their own kit.
They can log in, choose their clothing in the size they want and choose the office or branch they are based in. We can collate orders in a pre-agreed process, then sort and ship directly to the relevant locations – or even individual home addresses.
MORE THAN JUST MERCHANDISE
You can expand your merchandise portal to cover more marketing assets too, like print ready PDFs for collateral or business cards, or templates for social media or presentations.
You can even incorporate it into your own intranet, with your own corporate URL.
We update as you evolve
Your portal can change as you change. We can tailor to your own specifications and adapt to your requirements. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
Onboarding support
Sometimes new processes can take a while to get used to. We can help you with the onboarding of your product portal and reminders for users on how to place their orders too.
